This is an accurate fact but my point about "mental typing" still stands - in fact, I think your point only serves to corroborate mine. If you took a street poll about "Who Leonard Cohen was?" I think you would get 9/10 people saying he was a musician or a songwriter over a poet, even despite this fact that he made an attempt in poetry before becoming famous for song.

I think you would get 5/10 people saying "Who?", 2/10 saying, "Isn't that the Rubenstein's rabbi that we met at their dinner party last month?", and the remaining 3 saying he's a songwriter.

HA. I think you are probably right on all counts.
